Elite: Dangerous developer Frontier Developments has signed two new development agreements with a total value of £3.75 /$6.25 /€4.5 million.

Frontier Developments has agreed to develop two new games for a major global publishing partner, using its cross-platform and rapid development technology Cobra, over a duration spanning the current and next financial years, ending May 31, 2015.

"These contracts acknowledge Frontier's qualities and add two exciting new games to our project roster, both of which were ideas generated through our company-wide Game of the Week incubation programme," said David Braben, CEO and founder of Frontier Developments.

The development company was founded in 1994 and is based in Cambridge, UK and Halifax, Canada, having over 200 full-time employees, and its Incubator in-house testing ground has also produced the popular WiiWare and iOS game LostWinds.

Details on the identity of the partner or what the games will be about are yet to be released.

Meanwhile, Elite: Dangerous development is coming along just fine, the game currently being in alpha phase 2.0.
